Image Retention Reduction Menu
"EXTENDED LIFE SETTINGS" enables you to set the following 5 menus (Image Retention Reduction Menu) as
recommended values or set them individually.
PICTURE MENU
PICTURE
"PICTURE MENU" and "PICTURE" are same as "PICTURE" menu items (see page 24). The settings of this menu will be
refl ected to the "PICTURE" menu.
SIDE BAR ADJUST
Do not display a picture in 4:3 mode for an extended period,
as this can cause an image retention to remain on the side
bars on either side of the display fi eld.
To reduce the risk of such an image retention, illuminate the
side bars.
This function may be applicable to the non-picture area.
OFF: Darken both ends.
DARK: Make it dark gray.
MID: Make it gray.
BRIGHT: Make it light gray.
Notes:
• To reduce the occurrence of image retention, set the SIDE BAR ADJUST to BRIGHT.
• The side bar may fl ash (alternate black/white) depending on the picture being shown on the screen. Using Cinema mode
will reduce such fl ashing.
WOBBLING
Automatically shifts the display image (therefore unnoticeable to the eye) to prevent image retention of sharper contour
of image.
ON1: Shifts the image every 30 seconds.
ON2: Shifts the image at a dot level pitch depending on screen-detection.
PEAK LIMIT
ON: Suppresses image contrast (peak brightness).
Note: When a still picture is viewed for an extended time, the screen may become slightly darker. (see page 44)
